Musings on fascinating things

Clojure and Lisp

I suspect that Clojure, event though acknowledge to be the latest incarnation of the common lisp family of languages, is less powerful than Common Lisp. I suspect that this has a lot to do with macro processing, the fact that it is a JVM language.

Is it worth pursuing to any degree? How would one go about firming such a claim, and to whom would it matter?
